It’s great to see the #LowMow Revolution coming to Wellington, NZ.
“Low mow sites had about double the plant species - an average of 21.8, compared to 11.3 on regularly mown sites. Bugs were also more abundant, with 5.5 invertebrates on low mow sites, but just 1.2 on sites mowers frequent. Bird life was about the same, but the ground absorbed rainwater twice as quickly.”
“Others said the area wasn't used much, and longer grass with daisies and buttercups poking through looked more interesting than a plain mown patch.“
